A Little Bit Country

 

           Something about a ditsy floral, brown leather boots and a deer necklace say “country” to me. I’m not a big country music fan (except T. Swift--obvs), but I never pass up an opportunity to try out a new genre of dress. I find many country stars dress with class and often look very glamorous. 

I thrifted these floral culottes recently and decided to style them casually. I chose a classic black top and grey leggings, which allowed the floral to pop so much more. The stand out accessory is definitely my antlered deer necklace. By pairing it with the plain black top, it gets all the attention it deserves— it certainly is a conversation starter! 

This outfit is but a small toe dipped into country waters but I would consider venturing further. Doing so would require the staple country piece, one which has long been on my Hunt List, the cowboy boot. I love all boots, and fall/winter is certainly the time to wear them.

Versatility

 

           

           I’m always looking for more ways to wear a piece. The more flexible it is, the more value it has in my wardrobe. I will rarely repeat an outfit exactly because I love remixing.  A top that “only looks good” with one skirt is a waste of very precious real estate, i.e. my CLOSET. Therefore, when I go shopping, I cannot simply consider liking or attraction to the piece. If I can’t image 3+ ways to wear a piece, it’s a much harder sell. 

            Consider this top. I have a multitude of secretary blouses so I don’t want to repeat the same look every time I decide to wear one. I have shown this style of blouse worn with skirts, pants and now under a jumper. The feel of the look is also changed by tying the blouse or leaving it loose. If it were warmer, I would even consider rolling the sleeves for a different look.
